It’s all pretty vague, her symptoms… My suggestion would be that we pop you back to the hospital. Really?! It’s just that they are able to do a few more checks which we aren’t able to do here. So we can’t give you any answers unfortunately. I’ve got to go to hospital again?! Yeah - I think it would be the best bet. We can get you to the ambulance and we can get you some more painkillers and then we can pop you up, if that’s okay. Okay. Do you want any shoes on? No. No, okay.
The ambulance is just up there so we’ll have a walk up, okay? Alright.
Come on then.
